In an appropriate outdoor area, clean the filter 
shaking it on a level and clean surface, tapping the 
side (1, Fig. O), opposite the wire gauze (2). 
Complete the cleaning by using compressed air (3) at 
max. 6 bars, blowing only from the side protected by 
the wire gauze (2), at a minimum distance of 30 cm.
According to the filter type, take care of the following 
cautions:
– Paper filter (standard): do not use water or 

detergents to clean it; the filter can be damaged;

– Polyester filter (optional): to clean it, see the 

above-mentioned instructions. If necessary, for a 
better cleaning, it is allowed to wash the filter with 
water and non-lathering detergents. This provides 
better quality cleaning but reduces the life of the 
filter, which will have to be replaced more 
frequently. The use of inadequate detergents can 
damage the filter. 

Check the filter body for lacerations.

10. Clean the filter compartment rubber seal (1, Fig. P) 

along its perimeter and check its integrity. If 
necessary, replace it.

the pocket separator (7, Fig. AC) removing anything 
deposited on them. Check that the filtering surface is 
not cut, if it is, replace it. It is also possible to use 
compressed air (max. 6 bars), blowing the air from 
the clean side towards the dirty side.
